For more information click the following link: http://readanotherpage.com/2016/09/top-5-mystery-christian-fiction.html Hope to see you there! Today I want to share my top five favorite Historical Fiction books! Historical fiction is my favorite genre, so I wanted to share some of my favorites with you! Hope you enjoy! My #1 favorite book, from one of my favorite authors! "When I started reading "From the Dark to the Dawn" I wasn't sure what to expect. I hoped for a good story and I was blown away by what a great book it was! Once I got reading, I couldn't stop! Each chapter held me captivated and kept my attention through the whole book. There was never a dull moment. "From the Dark to the Dawn" taught me what it means to live for Christ fully, despite the circumstances.... To read my full review, click here. (Not recommended for young children.) Ah, "To Have and to Hold" is such a good read! While a thick book, it can easily be read and will keep you captive! Set in Colonial Jamestown, "To Have and to Hold" is a wonderful tale of adventure, mystery, love and courage, as told through the eyes of Captain Ralph Percy. Though I love the time of Colonial America, I also love the 17th-century Scotland time period. Rarely, have I read a book series that inspired me in my walk with God and grew my faith, but the Crown and Covenant series certainly fulfilled that and much more! What I love best is the wisdom that is displayed by the father of the family and their courage to press on despite the persecution. (A bit graphic for young children.) While this book series is way below my reading level, I still loved it! The Klondike Gold Rush was one of my favorites of the series. Follow Munford, a water molecule (yes, I said water molecule) on an exciting adventure through an important time in history! Seeing things from a water molecule really makes this book exciting and a fun read! The slave trade. A sad business, but such a vital time in history! I love how Alicia tells this tale of grace through the eyes of three different characters in three different walks of life, each affected by the slave trade in some way. Alicia weaves fictional and non-fictional characters, with a dash of mystery, adventure, truth seeking and God's grace, into a wonderful tale that you can't walk away from not being touched or changed! There you have it! My top five favorite historical fiction books! Now go read some books! :)

I've recently read Cherokee Rose by Al and Joanna Lacy.. I can't wait to read the rest of the "A Place To Call Home" series! It was a very good Historical Christian Fiction book!
